Studio 60 is one of the most anticipated new series this fall. The best part is that it marks the return of writer Aaron Sorkin (West Wing) and the always loveable, Matthew Perry (Friends). You probably already know that it is based on the behind the scenes look at a late-night sketch comedy, like SNL. Judd Hirsch kicks off the episode with a breakdown on live tv about how his show and television in general has lost its soul. This breakdown sets up why Perry and his partner, geeky-cute Bradley Whitford, come in to save the day. I love shows about TV and this one has the clever writing of West Wing but from the entertainment point of view which is much more fun than politics. Amanda Peet is the new network president looking to shake things up. She is supposedly pregnant in real life so it will be interesting to see how that works into the script. We'll definitely be watching to see where this show goes. It's on tonight at 10/9c on NBC.
Amanda Peet is pregnant!? I love her. This looks good. I wonder if they'll have episodes on iTunes.
